Blankets, Blankets!

I have posted previously regarding Katelynn's blanket obsession. I guess she takes after mom and dad - we have many blankets lying on couches, chairs, etc and frequently fight over the same couple of blankets. We always have one while watching TV, even during the summer months.

Long ago, KK discovered two very soft cream colored blankets in the living room and claimed them as her own. It's all about texture with her. The problem is their size - they are HUGE and she has become reknowned at her pre-school as "the little girl with the huge blanket." Over the Labor Day weekend, Katelynn spent several days with her Nanna and Grandpa. Nanna chopped her huge blankets in half. We now have 4 blankies - hooray! Easier to haul around, and easier to sneak into the wash on a regular basis.

One problem out, another in: Thanks to Nanna and her sewing room, KK has a new blanket obsession! She discovered an extremely soft fabric that Nanna uses to make homemade taggies for baby gifts; it's covered in little dots and she loves to run her hands over them. Katelynn did not care that this fabric cost her Nanna $17 per yard! And of course a loving Nanna could not deny her grandbaby a yard of her own dot fabric. So KK now demands her "DOTS!" all the time. They must even come on car rides with us... sheesh!
